National Centre of Excellence in Green Port and Shipping inaugurated at Gwal Pahari

The country’s first National Centre of Excellence in Green Port and Shipping (NCoEGPS), a collaboration between the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), was inaugurated by Union Minister Mr Sarbananda Sonowal at the research institution’s field station in Gwal Pahari, Gurugram on March 22, 2023.

With the green transition of Indian ports critical to align the sector’s growth to India’s sustainable development commitments, the new NCoEGPS is expected to play a vital part in greening the shipping industry by steering it towards carbon neutrality and circular economy. The NCoEGPS will be involved in developing the regulatory framework and alternate technology adoption roadmap for green shipping in India.
